Feed Operation and MIG Gun Installation
After inspecting the unit for power up, it is necessary to confirm wire feed opera-
tion. This is a simple process that requires you to install the MIG gun on the unit.
To install the MIG gun:
•
Locate the MIG gun in the accessory box. Uncoil the gun and straighten it
out.
•
Refer to the drawing below. Line up the Euro
-
Connector on the end of the
gun with the connector on the unit, making sure the protruding pins are
lining up with the corresponding hole.
•
Once the pins are lined up, push the connector in until it is seated. Hand
tighten the collar nut clockwise. Do not overtighten or use tools.
•
Once the nut is tight, gently shake the connector to confirm that the gun is
fully seated and the nut is still tight.
After you install the MIG gun, set the wire speed knob to maximum. Open the MIG
door so that you can see the drive feeder mechanism. Set the wire feed control to
the maximum setting. Pull the trigger to check that the drive mechanism is turning.
If it does not turn, check the MIG gun connection once again. If the drive wheel
fails to rotate, contact technical support for further assistance.
Selecting Polarity
Choosing the correct polarity for the welding process that you are welding
is, important. Without the correct polarity, weld quality and weldability of a
metal will be an issue. Incorrect polarity can also cause undesirable oper-
ation of the welder such as excess spatter, birds nesting of the wire,
electrode sticking, excessive consumable wear, and arc instability.
See the following images to determine which polarity should be used with
your process.
